This morning I had the chance to attend the Salt Lake County Republican Party Central Committee Meeting at Midvale Middle School. It was great to connect with precinct leaders from across the county, including many from District 44.

This was the final Central Committee meeting before caucus night, so much of the meeting was spent training for caucuses. Our precinct leaders are the backbone of the party. They organize neighbors, host meetings, recruit candidates, and make sure the grassroots voice is heard.

I have been involved in the party since I was 17 years old, serving as a county delegate, state delegate, precinct chair, state Central Committee member, etc. Some of my closest friendships and most meaningful experiences in public service started at the precinct level. I know firsthand how much time and energy these volunteers give.

I am deeply grateful for the work they do. Our party is strongest when it is built from the ground up, neighbor to neighbor, precinct by precinct. Looking forward to seeing many of you on caucus night. ... See MoreSee Less

Week 5 of the session is in the books. With just two weeks left in the 2026 Legislative Session, things are moving quickly.

Today, two of my bills passed the House and are now headed to the Senate. One I want to highlight is HB228, Vehicle Sales Amendments.

Most of the bills I run start with a conversation from a constituent who ran into a real problem. I genuinely love being able to help when someone calls or emails and says, “This happened to me, and it shouldn’t.” That is exactly how this bill began.

A constituent purchased a used vehicle for their 16 year old. Not long after, they discovered the car had undergone extensive repairs from severe hail damage. It had actually been totaled in another state, but because Utah does not currently use a hail damage title brand, it was issued a clean Utah title. The buyer had no idea.

That is called title washing, and it should not happen.
HB228 closes that loophole. It creates clear title brands for specific types of damage, including hail damage, and requires the Motor Vehicle Division to check the national title database before issuing a new Utah title. If a vehicle was salvaged or damaged in another state, that history must follow the car.

The bill also requires odometer discrepancy disclosure and clarifies how rebuilt vehicles are labeled, so buyers get full transparency while still allowing properly repaired vehicles to be safely operated and sold.

This is a practical consumer protection bill. It improves transparency in the marketplace, protects families buying vehicles for their kids, and makes sure damage history does not disappear when a car crosses state lines.

Today HB366, Judicial Cases Distribution Amendments, passed the House and is now headed to the Senate.

This bill addresses a practical but important issue in our court system. When municipal cases are appealed or filed in district court, they are often scattered across different courthouses and assigned to multiple judges. That creates scheduling conflicts for city prosecutors, confusion for defendants, and unnecessary travel for victims and witnesses, in addition to city attorneys and law enforcement.

HB366 was brought to me by cities throughout the state, including South Jordan, who have experienced these inefficiencies firsthand. The bill brings structure back to the process. It requires district courts to assign a manageable number of judges to handle a city’s municipal cases and directs that those cases be heard in the closest appropriate district court location, based on driving distance.

The goal is straightforward: improve efficiency, increase consistency, and reduce travel burdens for defendants, victims, attorneys, witnesses, and law enforcement. This is not a major policy shift, but it is a meaningful systems fix that helps the courts function more predictably and effectively.

I’ve attached a flyer with additional details about the bill. ... See MoreSee Less

One of the best parts of serving in the Legislature is getting to meet the next generation of leaders.

Today I had the chance to welcome several impressive students onto the House floor, including the student body president from Herriman High School and two AP Government students from Providence Hall High School. They were sharp, engaged, and genuinely curious about how policy gets made.

I also met with students from Herriman High School’s AP Political Science and government classes. We walked through how the legislative process actually works, what happens behind the scenes at the Capitol, and I had the chance to answer some thoughtful questions about the issues facing Utah.

Seeing students take civic engagement seriously, and step up to learn how government works, gives me a lot of hope for the future. ... See MoreSee Less

Today was a busy and productive day at the Capitol. I presented three bills in different committees, and I’m grateful that all three received favorable recommendations. I also had the opportunity to present one of my bills on the House floor: HB218 (Digital Skills Amendments), which passed the Utah House unanimously.

This bill strengthens Utah’s required digital literacy course for 7th and 8th graders and updates the standards to reflect the world our kids are actually growing up in, including social media, online privacy, cybersecurity, screen time, algorithm influence, and AI literacy.

This is an area I care deeply about. I’ve been fortunate to help lead the charge in the Legislature to protect kids from the harmful impacts of social media, especially the addictive algorithms that are designed to keep them scrolling.

Technology is a powerful tool, but it can also cause real harm if students are not prepared to navigate it safely and responsibly. HB218 is about giving Utah students practical skills to succeed in the digital world, while also helping protect them from its risks.
